EconomyUkraine's farmers struggle to sell harvest amid war and drought

Russian attacks on ships and ports have brought ports in the Odesa region largely to a standstill, severely restricting Ukraine’s grain exports. Farmers have harvested more than 28 million tons of grain and pulses, but much of it cannot be sold, leaving them short of cash for harvesting and autumn planting. Alternative rail, road and Danube routes are constrained by capacity, cost and drought.
